   I failed to follow my own advice about interviews.

   For a recent take-home assignment, I did use a popular language like Python. I wrote a good number of tests and handled edge cases etc.

   They assigned a Java developer to review my code. That's when I realized my disastrous mistake. My code was purely functional. It had no classes at all.

   Fortunately, they allowed me some time to fix it. So I'm writing sub-classes 3 levels deep now.

   Next time, I'll just write Java. 🤷♂️

     @LovesTha C reminds me of function pointers.

     I should avoid using any function passing or lambda expressions in Python, so that I have the chance to demonstrate my knowledge of object-oriented design patterns.

     @njoseph I did a C or C++ take home in C. I didn't get the job because I did it in C.

     I felt like hiring a cybertruck.
